[macports-ports] 01/02: hunspell-en: SCOWL based hunspell dictionary for en_AU, en_CA, en_GB, and en_US

[Marius Schamschula]

Leonardo,

The reasoning behind the renaming is twofold:

1) I went by repology.org <http://repology.org/> for the more common package name used by other packaging systems: hunspell-en. Only MacPorts used hunspell-dict-en_*.

https://repology.org/metapackage/hunspell-en/versions <https://repology.org/metapackage/hunspell-en/versions>

2) The new package is fundamentally different in terms of its source and build mechanism, given that all hunspell-dict-* packages are currently broken (the list of dictionaries and source code was removed from OpenOffice.org <http://openoffice.org/>).

I'm asking because I'm the maintainer for "pt_BR" and I'm going to submit "sv_SE" and I would like to know if the naming convention is changing, so I can follow.

The fact that I want to install a dictionary does not necessarily mean that I want to use hunspell (the command line tool); plenty of other GUI tools, and macOS itself, support hunspell and can be told to use the dictionaries.
